Immediately, one-third of the ministers seconded the motion!
Then even the two prime ministers, Zhang Dongzheng, Meng Fang, Ye Chao, Hu Zhennan and others all had their intentions!
Only one-third of the people have not expressed their opinions yet, but their attitudes can no longer change this fact!
Baili Tang: "This personal income tax is currently only implemented in the imperial court. All officials above the seventh rank must report to the court how much property they own. If anyone conceals it, and if it is discovered, the court has the right to confiscate their property! Calling my dear minister!"
"I'm here!" Why call him?
"When I was in Qinhe Prefecture, I discovered that your prefect had countless properties under his name.

Now they have introduced a personal income tax targeting the officials!
From now on, who will dare to slander and spread rumors?
"I have one more thing to ask. With the exception of my mother, the monthly salaries of all the concubines in the harem will be halved. Together with the other ministers, you will serve the country. This will prevent them from overeating, doing nothing all day, and causing trouble!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
